00:00:47.000Yeah, Diego Sanchez got really into Dan Quinn's stevia thing, like he was going to melt fat with stevia and cure cancer and go to the moon.
00:00:53.000Yeah, there's a guy out there, his name is Dan Quinn, who believes that stevia can change the world.
00:03:27.000Yep, he had a camera on and he goes, I want to show you guys something, essentially basically showing them that they had no control of him, that his mind was stronger than theirs.
00:04:46.000You'd have to be really, really funny, and it'd have to be a really obvious joke for you to use any other race, especially if you were a white guy.
00:04:56.000Sam Tripoli has that joke where he'll be like, I lost Bobby Lee at the Korean Day Parade.
00:05:04.000You ever lose a Korean in a Korean Parade?
00:05:06.000It's like looking for a needle in a needle stack.
00:05:14.000Sir, I'm not going to say it's true, but I am saying it's funny.
00:05:17.000There's certain races that share so many similarities as far as their mannerisms or their features and stuff.
00:05:25.000I mean, there's so much variety in America, right?
00:05:29.000Because we come from so many different parts of the world.
00:05:31.000And if you thought of us as a country, which, you know, we are a country, but we're not a country like, say if you wanted to go and meet some Colombians.
00:05:49.000I think in China, to have that many people speaking Mandarin, which had to do, I think, with the Yangtze and the Yellow River, because they could trade and, you know, share ideas...
00:05:57.000And so, plus I think they were pretty isolated, so you're right.
00:06:01.000There wasn't as much, you know, immigration in the United States.
00:06:07.000Well, not only that, it's never been like this before, where there's 300 million people, and we vary so much, and we're more varied now than ever before.
00:06:14.000Like they say, what is it like, I think they said 20 more years, and white people are going to be a minority?
00:06:48.000It's interesting that this world is sort of, it's in some places, it's not sort of meshing with everything else, but in most places, people are spreading out and sort of like integrating with each other.
00:06:59.000I remember when I was little, my dad gets so, I was like four or five, and we'd see an Asian person, and I'd say, oh, look at that Chinese guy.
00:08:13.000And then in that time, the change of the landscape has been so drastic in just a short amount of time.
00:08:20.000You think about any other time in the world, any other part of the world, someplace as big as the continental United States just gets transformed over a couple hundred years into just white people, just filling them up, filling it up!
00:09:24.000Well, there's no way you're going to figure it out, because you want to make your parents happy, and they have a set of rules, and you grow up with them, and you start raising your kid that way.
00:09:31.000And then all those ancient ideas about who those people that you don't know are versus these people next to you that you don't know.
00:09:39.000Well, these people are on my side of the dirt, and those people are on that side of the dirt.
00:09:42.000And we believe a certain type of wacky shit, and they believe a different type of wacky shit.
00:09:47.000I mean, they have their problems over there, but we have problems here too.
00:09:50.000Have you seen how the Kaepernick situation escalated?
00:10:08.000And so he was a big-time quarterback, playing like shit lately, but he was a big-time quarterback, refuses to stand for the National Anthem because says his people are oppressed and the cop treatment, stuff like that.
00:10:20.000And then a picture came out that he wore them a while ago, these socks with cops as pigs on them.
00:10:26.000He wore them to practice a while ago before he made this stance.
00:10:29.000And so that photo's been brought back out.
00:10:32.000So now the cops in Santa Clara are saying, we're not working the games anymore.
00:10:37.000Unless you guys do something about Kaepernick, we're not working the games anymore.
00:10:40.000So the cops are taking a protest now, which to me is like...
00:10:45.000It's definitely not the right thing to do.
00:10:47.000Because he has freedom of speech, right?
00:10:49.000First Amendment, he can do that, whether you agree with it or not.
00:10:52.000But the cops, now you guys are sinking to his level.
00:10:55.000You can't make a decision to not do your job because you don't like a guy's opinion.
00:11:00.000Cops at work games are off-duty police officers.
00:11:27.000If he has a real point about what he doesn't like about the way the United States is going, or the way our country is being led, that's not...
00:11:36.000It gets a lot of people paying attention, but it's just going to get a lot of hate.
00:11:40.000You're not changing anything by not standing for the anthem during the National Football League.
00:11:44.000The cops are still going to be the cops, and the black people are still going to be oppressed.
00:11:48.000Well, he's starting the dialogue, he thinks, and when you're young, and you have a strong ego, and you feel like you're in a position of quote-unquote leadership, you feel like you can make a stand.
00:12:52.000See, when you don't stand for the national anthem, which is the United States versus government or a government policy, those things can be separate.
00:13:57.000He's not even the starter, probably, and he's going to be paid $19 million this year, so that might have a little bit to do with him getting cut, too.
00:14:56.000He took him to the conference finals and the playoffs.
00:15:00.000So when did it start going bad for him?
00:15:02.000From my insiders, who actually, some of them worked for the San Francisco 49ers, they were saying it really went bad for him because he was a really athletic quarterback and no one could really pick up his style of play.
00:15:12.000And once they figured it out, he was a guy who was on social media all the time and the negativity got to him.
00:15:18.000So he's a sensitive dude and just all the critiquing from the media and everyone else really got to him.
00:15:24.000So he's lost weight, he's changed his throwing motion, he doesn't run anymore, he's black power now.
00:16:00.000First of all, asking a 26-year-old to take a stance about global issues while they're in the middle of a professional athletic career at the highest level, which demands you know as much as anybody.
00:16:14.000If you're playing professional football, tell us how much fucking that demands of your day.
00:16:56.000Thousands of players that they have to know.
00:16:57.000And he has to know the whole inside and out.
00:16:58.000So that dude doesn't have time to be studying global issues?
00:17:01.000No, that's why he's playing like shit.
00:17:05.000It'd be way more powerful if he played well, was a starter, started winning games, and then came out and did this maybe after the season.
00:17:12.000Dude, there's no 26-year-old that's built to handle the kind of pressure that comes being that famous and a big football player.
00:17:18.000And then on top of that, supporting some sort of a global issue, like some sort of a national issue on the United States, like the state of the United States.
00:17:28.000Are you going to make an official statement?
00:17:57.000I think African-American people are pretty proud of him in a certain aspect.
00:18:02.000Well, some people are proud of him, too, that feel like things aren't the way they should be in this country, and at least this guy used that platform and took a chance.
00:21:44.000Yeah, and they have comics judge it, and then they'll do, like, one, you know, one joke, and the other person will do a joke against them, and they go back and forth, and then the audience decides who got who better.
00:24:18.000She's got a look that's very distinctive, and she seems like a very friendly person, and America took her in a long time ago, and she's sort of been in this steady, coasting state ever since then.
00:24:28.000So when she goes and does something that demands pop, like these things, or when she expresses herself on The View, when she's got an opinion, it's not very succinct.
00:24:37.000It's not clear and sharp and well-defined.
00:25:26.000Sometimes success can stop a lot of things.
00:25:29.000Bob Dylan was, and he's produced a lot and been amazing, but they were going through the lyrics that he was writing and stuff when he was younger that made him a legend.
00:25:39.000He literally went, isn't that something?
00:26:48.000All this craziness, and she's saying that she's not into gay marriage, or she wasn't into gay marriage, she's trying to change my opinion now, but because she's more of a traditionalist.
00:26:57.000Like, you are a man that thinks they're a woman.
00:27:00.000There's nothing further from a traditionalist.
00:27:22.000We're having this national debate, which is an important national debate, because there's a spectrum of gender, and there's some people that get stuck in some weird spots, and to be mean about those people, because they're not a manly man like Brendan Schaub, or a girly girl,
00:28:29.000The numbers that you're interacting with on a daily basis, if you have any sort of a point whatsoever, like this football player dude.
00:28:35.000If he has any sort of a point that he wants to make, dude, you're dealing with...
00:28:41.000Literally millions of people throwing their opinions your way and it's a storm and you can't you can't like go outside in the rain and pick the Raindrop that you're gonna communicate with.
00:29:58.000Maybe he's using it as a psychological exercise, but he's talking about all these people that are being racist to him and talking shit to him.
00:30:06.000Not only that, when you find out, when they find out that you're paying attention and it freaks you out, like this Kaepernick guy who's losing weight and you fucking can't throw right anymore.
00:30:47.000Has a bit of a nose, but good-looking dude.
00:30:49.000And they come home every day, and they run to that computer from their McDonald's job with fucking fry smell all over their body, their hands, and they just start All kinds of rude shit about him.
00:31:01.000Although the article we read in Time Magazine had a front page article, and according to that author and his research, a lot of that hate comes from, oh, I don't know, kindergarten teachers, doctors, lawyers, and people, your next door neighbor you would never imagine, but they just have a mean streak.
00:31:32.000It gives you a free pass if you're from another state.
00:31:35.000There's also something about some people, when nobody's looking to do something outrageous, forbidden, that would be totally out of character, it's freeing, right?
00:31:44.000So they just want to do, like, it's almost like when you go, when you're in a really, in an airplane, you have to be quiet and stuff, and you go to the bathroom, and you're about to pee, and you look in the mirror, and you go, and you just do some weird face, because it's a release.
00:32:00.000I think people that are buttoned down all day, like doctors and lawyers and people that have to put on a persona all day long, those are the ones who want to hire mistresses and get them to shit on them and smack them in the face and do wacky stuff.
00:32:12.000They've done a lot of studies on cultures that produce a lot of shit videos and these really perverse videos.
00:32:19.000Well, I'm talking about the Japanese and the Germans who tend to be very disciplined, very authoritarian, and very buttoned down and formal.
00:32:33.000It was like they were talking about why would the Germans, at one point, who were the quote-unquote most civilized society in the world, they read Goethe and everything else, and they had...
00:35:23.000He's on his way towards the title shot, and then he fights someone like Rumble, and he gets so annihilated that it leaves this, like, okay, how much improvement would he have to make before he could beat Rumble?
00:35:34.000Well, but that Rumble fight, I don't think, if I'm Ryan Bader, I'm his camp, you can't really chalk it up as, ah, he was the better fighter.
00:35:41.000I think Bader shit his pants in a huge situation.
00:39:07.000He's got this big power, but if you look at his technical approach, like how he's trying to approach Ryan, he's trying to step and then bomb.
00:39:15.000And if it works, look, if he catches you with one of those things, you're fucksville.
00:39:19.000But a guy at Ryan's level, he shouldn't really be getting caught with that stuff.
00:39:21.000So he switched up to wrestling and Ryan stuffed a takedown.
00:39:24.000So now Aaliyah is definitely losing this round so far, and he's losing it in terms of strategy, his ability to execute.
00:39:46.000Yeah, Latifi does not look good right here.
00:39:48.000He keeps getting clipped with the kick, and look how easy Bader blocked that punch, because it's obvious, you know, it's that looping right that comes.
00:39:55.000Latifi even got double unders, couldn't take Bader down.
00:39:58.000I mean, people underestimate Bader's wrestling.
00:40:00.000They forget about it, because he really doesn't use it that much.
00:40:02.000It's interesting how, like, there's certain things that you just absolutely predict, right?
00:40:06.000Like, if a guy catches your leg, if you throw a right kick, and the guy catches your leg, he's gonna throw a right hand.
00:48:25.000It's amazing that, again, that he's only 33. I mean, we've seen this dude in the UFC for a long time, but realistically, he's in his prime right now.
00:49:10.000But Scott Coker running Bellator, if you're a fighter and you know Cajun, you know you like a little help, you know, in trains sometimes we're tired and you know, just a little pick-me-up, you know, run away from the doctor and you know,
00:49:26.000no one need to know, a couple days I'll be back, my friend!
00:49:30.000There's people that have been doing that since the beginning of time.
00:49:34.000They've been taking a little something-something, and then they get to the weigh-in, and all they have to do is pass what most fighters call the intelligence test.
00:58:24.000It would be like Hot Tub Time Machine 1993. Because you have one guy who just does jujitsu, One guy that just does stand-up in 2016. He doesn't just do jiu-jitsu.
00:58:34.000The reason why he's able to pull off his beautiful jiu-jitsu is because of his wrestling.
00:58:38.000He can take everybody down at 170. It doesn't matter.
00:58:52.000It's like Hot Top Time Machine, but we just, you know what I'm saying?
00:58:54.000They went back, but their skills are ridiculous.
00:58:56.000It's so equivalent, because one guy's this elite, world-class striker, and the other guy's this elite, world-class grappler, who, like, they could compete outside of the UFC, In striking or in grappling.
00:59:08.000If Wonderboy took on a kickboxing bout in Glory, he'd be very competitive with some of the best kickboxers in the world.
00:59:14.000And if Damien Maia entered into a major jiu-jitsu competition tomorrow, he'd be very competitive against some of the best grapplers in the world.
01:02:40.000Gus and I trained together for my Mitrione fight, and he went six rounds with a world-class boxer, and it was fucking a war, and then jumped in and went three rounds with me back-to-back.
01:04:16.000I mean, him versus Stipe would be a hell of a fight, but I think when you fight guys like Rothwell, like Stipe, JDS, Kane, I think he might be alright.
01:04:25.000I don't know if he doesn't possess the power.
01:04:48.000And if you look at the way Rumble stopped him, it's actually arguably more impressive that he lasted as long as he did when Rumble was bombing on him.
01:04:57.000But those extra shots that he took, those don't help you.
01:06:31.000And then he's always fought top five level, but to really make that crazy retirement money, you've got to beat a guy like GSP, Conor, you know what I'm saying?
01:06:39.000Yeah, or you got to figure out some way to market yourself outside of the UFC. I mean, it's got to be something like Alan Joban's doing modeling.
01:06:46.000You know, you broke off into podcasting.
01:06:48.000There's got to be, like, another way as well.
01:06:51.000But to only rely on your success in athletic contests to make your money?
01:07:21.000I'm just saying in general, if you go off the general consensus of opening a gym, you don't get your money back returned within four years.
01:07:30.000If you're a black belt and you're a legit, if you're a UFC fighter and you're a black belt, and you're not, I'm in the, this is my business.
01:08:34.000If you're a black belt, if you're a legit black belt and you've had success in the UFC, like I just said, I've had guys that haven't been in the UFC, not even black belts, and they're It is two different skills.
01:10:21.000It's also an absolute fact that when you get hit in the head a lot, it starts to affect your enthusiasm.
01:10:26.000It starts to affect your endocrine system.
01:10:29.000There's a potential, like, you know, I know a guy who's a world-class boxer, and I know a friend who trains him, who said that he absolutely has pituitary gland damage, and he has a really hard time getting the energy up to train.
01:10:39.000They had his testosterone checked and it's just ridiculously low.
01:10:42.000And there's nothing they can do about it because the supplement is illegal.
01:10:45.000So they can't supplement his testosterone.
01:10:47.000So this guy is forced to fight with low testosterone, low enthusiasm.
01:10:52.000He just can't muster up the kind of performances he had earlier in his career.
01:11:42.000But the point being that that guy hasn't taken a lot of mileage, so even though he's 39 years old, he looks fucking good.
01:11:48.000He doesn't look like a 39-year-old guy who's at the tail end of a long MMA career, and he's got all these injuries he's constantly struggling against and can't get through camp without getting hurt.
01:12:00.000Well, that's like the CM Punk argument, right?
01:12:03.000He's 37 or 38, whatever he is, and he has a lot of injuries coming from professional wrestling, and he's never done the sport, so then he has to train two years and then go into it.
01:12:14.000You're talking about a different animal.
01:15:14.000As soon as you throw a right punch, he shoots in.
01:15:16.000He has a Z-guard, then he shoots in, grabs the underhook, and either gets on top and they stand, just like Chuck Liddell used to do with the underhook, or he uses that to sweep him like he'll get into dogfight and he'll go through him.
01:16:27.000When I watch someone like Damian Maia, because I don't have that much of a trained eye, it doesn't look like he's doing anything different than everybody else when he takes your back or when he's on top of you and he's controlling you.
01:16:38.000And what's interesting is the subtlety of jiu-jitsu on that level that unless you have a cultivated eye...
01:16:44.000It just looks like he's wearing him like a sweater.
01:16:56.000Someone like Carlos Kanda can't even get him off.
01:16:58.000And Carlos Kanda is experienced as anybody.
01:17:00.000And that's where that level of mastery is so subtle and almost invisible.
01:17:05.000It's hard to see unless you really know what the hell he's doing.
01:17:08.000Because a lot of it seems to be like where he's putting his weight, those little differences, how he's countering, how he's predicting what you're going to do before you do it.
01:17:15.000Well, that path that Maya is on, the techniques that he's putting together, the treasure map that he's on, Carlos Condit probably wasn't getting someone on a daily basis at a high level hitting him with that specific path.
01:17:33.000Those moves that he chose, that he strung together, nice and simple, nice and tight.
01:17:39.000And, you know, you gotta prepare for something as simple as that.
01:17:43.000You gotta prepare for someone coming at you exactly like that.
01:17:47.000Because everything that Maya chooses, all those positions are the best positions for MMA. No doubt.
01:17:57.000There's a million moves, but he's got the path, and it's the same shit he's doing over and over.
01:18:02.000You know, I want to see guys like, you know, Rafael Lovato is now getting into MMA, and he's had a few MMA fights outside of the UFC. He's going to do well.
01:18:50.000So he does have that smashing, high-level jiu-jitsu, but there have been a bunch of high-level jiu-jitsu guys trying to transition into the UFC. The problem is they're not selecting the moves that Damian Maia is selecting.
01:19:04.000Everybody in MMA right now, if you're not studying, if you're in the UFC, And you are not studying exactly the moves that Damien Maia has chosen and the path, it's all laid out for you.
01:19:57.000He doesn't sit into that anymore because when he wants people to sit into Z guard when he's on bottom, because from there he just waits for you to throw a right punch and he times it.
01:20:07.000He shoots for the underhook because you just left a big ass opening and from there he gets to dogfight.
01:20:13.000So he doesn't want to do that because he knows that that's actually the wrong thing to do.
01:20:17.000So he tripods when he's in that headquarter position and he gets up and he drives his head down and then he maneuvers his way into top half and then he turns towards it.
01:22:17.000No, she's fighting in the UFC. She beat Holly Holm.
01:22:19.000Do you know who I'm talking about in Bellator, the chicken in Bellator?
01:22:21.000No, but Valentina, when you see all her years of Muay Thai experience at a world championship level, when she fights someone like Holly, you get to see that.
01:22:28.000You're like, oh, there's levels to this shit.
01:23:16.000So when they get in the UFC and they're fighting a girl who maybe she just likes to fight and do it all, when they fight these super high-level strikers, they're fucked, man.
01:23:25.000That's why, you know, they're going to need that wrestling and that jiu-jitsu.
01:23:30.000And another thing about Damon Mai is when he gets the back, a lot of people get the back in MMA, but he's on that Marcelo Garcia level, but when he gets your back, he knows how to close and he knows how to finish.
01:24:36.000Somebody played an interesting video, they sent it to me on Twitter, of one of Hickson's black belts in Australia.
01:24:43.000This guy's doing this demonstration with a rear naked choke, and he was saying that the rear naked choke is all about the legs.
01:24:49.000And so he's got the rear naked choke on and just using his legs, obviously like stretching the body out, but applying pressure just with his legs.
01:24:57.000And he was like, that's what the rear naked choke's all about.
01:25:24.000Didn't he win EBI? He got a rear-naked choke with no hooks in.
01:25:28.000If you got a world-class squeeze and you get a clean angle on the neck, if it's clean and deep and you're under the chin, you don't need the leg hooks no more.
01:25:43.000I forget who he did that to, but he did that in EBI 5. It was fucking awesome.
01:26:32.000A guy like that, when they get your back with those giant ass legs that he has, when he's like squeezing down on your shit and stretching you out as he's choking you.
01:27:20.000You know what's crazy about this EBI coming up is one of the worst case scenarios people would come up to me and ask me about, and I would think about it too.
01:27:30.000Would have someone won EBI? By escapes.
01:27:34.000Got into overtime in every round and then won by quickest escape time.
01:29:29.000No, it wasn't Nick Lentz because Nick Lentz is fighting at 155. There was some fight that got cancelled because BJ had taken an IV to rehydrate himself.
01:32:01.000He's kind of doing like Wing Chun, but he's smacking some fucking clotheslines on people and sweeping them off their feet and snapping arms and shit.
01:32:09.000I think he's actually kind of a good actor, too.
01:32:11.000Under Siege 1 and 2 is fucking brilliant.
01:33:40.000Well, I mean, who would have ever predicted that Orlovsky would have gotten that close to a title shot again?
01:33:45.000After all those years out, after getting starched by Sergei Karotanov, after getting beaten down by Rumble Johnson, to come back from all that, get back into the UFC and work his way to the top four...
01:35:12.000Rothwell caught him with that crazy ten-finger go-go guillotine.
01:35:16.000Whatever he calls it, go-go guillotine, go-go choke.
01:35:19.000There's so many different ways to put on that guillotine and they're all secretive because you can never see the grip and everyone has a certain way they hold the grip.
01:49:02.000Getting you in bad spots, you know, anticipating your defense and dropping those short palm-to-elbow elbows down on you, those press-down, you know, Jeremy Horn-style elbows.
01:49:12.000He also has a great head-arm choke here that he does.
01:49:15.000Jeremy Horn was like one of the first guys that really was teaching that.
01:53:33.000Do you remember that time when Arlovsky was on the ground and Roy Nelson had him inside control with a double wrist lock, locked in, and they stood him up in Elite XC, that crooked-ass organization?
01:55:30.000Like Chuck Liddell used to get guys all the time, and he would throw these wild, crazy punches.
01:55:35.000He would, because of the way the wraps are, and because of the way the gloves are, sometimes when Chuck is punching you, he's hitting you like this.
02:02:13.000You also look at the way Stipe almost terminators forward, you know what I'm saying, has that relentless pace like you do with JDS. You can't really do that with Overeem.
02:02:22.000There's no training like that, really.
02:02:24.000Well, it's going to be hard if he gets hit with leg kicks, like right away, because Alistair Overeem has some fucking ferocious leg kicks.
02:04:15.000Well, it's also, like, how many options does he have?
02:04:17.000It's really interesting when you think the fact that this guy was competing in the WWE, and he's going to fight at 170. It's kind of crazy.
02:07:22.000I mean, it's kind of funny, but at the end of the day, it's not like Brock Lesnar.
02:07:27.000You look at Brock Lesnar, and the way he would move around, he'd be like, I'd like to see that guy fight for real.
02:07:32.000You look at this guy, and he's a reasonable athlete.
02:07:36.000You look at his body, he's a reasonably athletic guy who looks like he works out, but you look at his legs, you don't go, Jesus, I bet that guy could jump over the fucking moon.
02:08:22.000I mean, I'm not degrading his body or anything like that, but if you look at most of the pictures of him wrestling, like go to that one on the upper left, right-hand side, go down, scroll down a little, Jamie, that next column, and there, go to the right.
02:09:06.000Yeah, but they have a lot of scar tissue up there from taking chairs to the head and stuff, so if you're going to open a professional wrestler up, do it there.
02:09:54.000You know, USADA, I don't know what kind of a suspension they're going to give him, but they're talking about not giving him that much of a suspension.
02:10:21.000John Jones, Brock Lesnar facing potential shorter suspensions from USADA. Listen, they need to just throw USADA and go, look, we proved the point.
02:10:46.000The UFC is testing fighters all year round.
02:10:50.000You have to give notice of where you are constantly, all the time.
02:10:53.000So they're testing you whether you're in competition, whether you're out of competition, they're testing you randomly, they're showing at your house at 7 o'clock in the morning, and if they catch you, they're going to suspend you.
02:11:25.000But the question is, and this is what we talked about with Scott Coker, so with USADA testing, who's an employee of the UFC? The UFC hired USADA to test their athletes.
02:11:35.000They have nothing to do with the commission?
02:18:01.000If he had the proper surgery and he went and got smashed up again, it's probably got to be cleared up again.
02:18:07.000So maybe that's why he's taking a year.
02:18:09.000That is such an issue with fighters because they want to get their nose fixed, but if you do get your nose fixed, you really shouldn't get punched in it for a while.
02:18:15.000But if you don't get your nose fixed, then you can't breathe out of your fucking nose.
02:25:02.000There's rumor-reveal stuff for that fight, and there's supposedly a big fight announcement is all I saw, and then I saw a big McGregor fight announcement.
02:25:22.000It would be interesting, man, because Connor is fast as fuck.
02:25:26.000And at least in that first round, while he's exploding with those ridiculous sprint punches that he lands, he lands those counter shots on you and they're so fast.
02:26:00.000For Conor, man, everyone knows I'm the biggest Conor fan, but you look at the matchups at 55, besides 45, which you can't really make anymore, but you look at 55 and then these super fights, it's not great, man.
02:26:12.000Well, they're talking about doing him and Eddie Alvarez.
02:28:05.000Yes, he did, but he beat him at lightweight, and now he's not really fighting at lightweight anymore, but yeah, you've got a good point, because Barboza's listed as number four, but Barboza's looked sensational, especially in his last fight against Gilbert Melendez.
02:28:17.000Barboza's just off the charts technical.
02:28:19.000I know, but you've got to count head-to-head.
02:29:47.000By the way, Tumanoff beat Lorenz Larkin.
02:29:51.000So Tumanoff won a decision against Lorenz Larkin and he's down there at number 15, whereas Lorenz just destroyed Neil Magny and he's at 9 and Magny's at 8. These rankings are retarded.
02:30:26.000Tumanoff being at 15, Lorenz Larkin, who he beat, being ranked way above him, and then Neil Magny being above him when he just blew Magny out of the water in the first round.
02:31:46.000When you watch him fight Dos Anjos, and you see how Dos Anjos just overwhelms guys with grappling and pressure, and then Khabib just ragdolls him.
02:35:11.000There's no way he doesn't train like this.
02:35:12.000So if you're training like this all the time, you're dealing with little injuries, little micro injuries that get exacerbated, and then your fucking knees blow out.
02:42:42.000It's saying things that would get you in real trouble if people heard.
02:42:45.000Don't you feel like you're doing that in general, though, when you're doing your comedy and hanging out with your friends and the companions and shit?
02:42:50.000Yes, but when you're in the middle of Alaska, like we're literally miles from anything, including other animals, by the way, you just end up...
02:42:58.000There's something that happens to you where you just want to say the most outrageous shit.
02:43:01.000Because you're like, how can I one-up...
02:43:03.000Joe, now, I'm going to say something outrageous that's going to even shock me.
02:43:06.000No, I get that, but you could do it at dinner, though, right?
02:43:11.000When you're in the woods and you're doing this, and me and Brian are specifically geared for fucking with each other in those kind of situations.
02:43:19.000And I also know that what he's saying, he doesn't mean, and he's joking, and I'm expecting him to take it to another place that's even more fucked up, and it just keeps going.
02:43:28.000And when we were in Montana the first time, it was literally $5.
02:44:56.000No, but being an idiot, being out there and being miserable, but kind of having fun at the same time, there's something about it that makes...
02:45:02.000It brings out, in many ways, the best of you.
02:45:05.000You have a good time, even though you're miserable.
02:45:16.000We were rained on for five days in a row, and then we finally got a dry night, and we got a bunch of the guys from camp to find as many small pieces of dry wood as we could.
02:45:25.000We stacked it on top of each other and started lighting Fritos.
02:46:28.000That was hilarious because we would go turkey hunting during the day and then Brian and I would go to the finest restaurants at night because there was all these amazing restaurants in Napa.
02:47:40.000I could have gotten your ear while you were drawing and I could have gone, control your breathing, control your breathing, control your breathing.
02:47:46.000This is going to feel like what it is and it is what it is.
02:47:48.000You know, the more spectacular thing about it or the weirdest thing about it is being introduced to the world of public land.
02:47:55.000That's one of the weirder things about hunting that I didn't anticipate.
02:47:59.000We own human beings that live in the United States and pay taxes.
02:48:03.000We own enormous chunks of land that are public land that you can go hiking on and rafting and you can go fishing and hunting if you have the proper tags and licenses.
02:48:15.000And it's not like this anywhere in the world.
02:51:48.000So your buddies come and help out, and they all get around on these different points, and they glass, meaning they set up tripods, they put on binoculars and spotting scopes, and they locate the animal, and then everyone's coordinating.
02:51:59.000So you've got to go 100 yards down, go down there, he's at the bottom of the canyon, and then the other guy's at the other end, and he's like, we've got an eye on him out here, he's not coming this way.
02:52:13.000Because, first of all, it's impossible to get a tag.
02:52:15.000But for these people, it's so important that they capitalize on this one opportunity they're ever going to have in their life to hunt in this area.
02:52:57.000We're going to have to have some drone rules over the next few years because they're going to get bigger and better and quicker and easier.
